2020 Emerging Artist Residency, Atlanta Printmakers Studio

Atlanta Printmakers Studio’s annual Emerging Artist Residency was established in 2009 to provide emerging artists with the resources necessary for completing a printmaking project of their proposal as well as an opportunity for professional development. The residency offers the artists a unique opportunity to work with practicing artists of varied backgrounds and offering diverse skills.

The studio provides capabilities for intaglio, monotype, woodcut, linocut, letterpress, screen print, paper making, book arts and various mixed media techniques (see our website for detailed list of equipment available). Up to three winning artists will be chosen by an independent panel on the basis of the proposal, including both concept and feasibility.

THE RESIDENCY AWARDS:
Two to three artists are selected per year and each receives studio access, free class, personal mentoring, stipend, group exhibit, and 1 yr membership.

Studio Access is limited to January – May 2020. June 2020 is for curating and prepping prints for the exhibit – having them ready to hang during the last week of June 2020.
